Lately, I’ve been feeling like we’re standing on the precipice of something monumental—as if the world is nearing a turning point that was written about long before any of us were even here. Maybe it’s the constant noise of the news cycle, the endless debates, the divisions that cut deep, or the unsettling shifts in technology that make me wonder: Are we in the end times? Is the Antichrist walking among us already, masked behind the glossy veil of modernity?
I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I want to share with you the thoughts that keep me up at night—those questions that rattle around, especially when I look at how the world is rapidly changing. The way the world has centralized, the way we are constantly connected yet so profoundly divided, and yes, how even our money is changing. Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies, are fascinating—borderline revolutionary. They offer us a way to break free of government-controlled currency, to escape inflation, and to seize control of our own financial freedom. But at the same time, there’s an eerie sense that maybe all of this is playing into something bigger, something foretold.
In the book of Revelation, the prophecy speaks of a time when no one can buy or sell without a mark—the mark of the Beast. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? As our currency evolves into something entirely digital, does this mean we’re one step closer to that future? Bitcoin and its cousins are hailed as liberators—but what if this is simply the precursor to the consolidation of power? A step closer to one global currency, controlled and tracked in a way that feels inescapable. The blockchain, decentralized as it might be, still records every movement, and as much as we may value transparency, there’s a side of it that could also be harnessed for control.
And then there’s the question: Is the Antichrist already here? Maybe not in the traditional, horned-figure kind of way. Perhaps it’s not a person at all—maybe it’s a system. Maybe the Antichrist is a spirit of control, of coercion, that permeates our world. I see it in the increasingly invasive surveillance, the digital profiles that grow on us every day, the insistence that convenience comes at the cost of privacy, that access must come with a condition. It’s as if we’re being slowly, subtly nudged into accepting a way of living where our thoughts, our freedoms, and our choices aren’t ours to make anymore.
It’s easy to see why some are wary of digital currencies, why they see Bitcoin—even though it claims to be outside the system—as perhaps just the first wave of a much bigger plan. A stepping stone towards a global financial structure that could bring everything under a single authority, the kind of control that Revelation warns us about.
I don’t know if the Antichrist is a person, a technology, or just a spirit that drives people towards control. But what I do know is that we need to stay aware. We need to look at what’s happening around us and ask the tough questions. Are we embracing things that will one day be used against us? Are we allowing convenience to overshadow freedom? Are we stepping willingly into a cage, convinced that it’s progress?
I’m not here to say that Bitcoin is inherently evil, or that digital currencies are the mark of the Beast. But I am here to ask whether we are thinking deeply enough about where all this is heading. Technology is only as good or as bad as the hands that control it, and the line between liberation and control is often a very fine one—a line that, once crossed, might be impossible to step back from.
These are just my thoughts. We must stay vigilant, watching the world unfold with clear eyes and questioning minds.
